Stepantsminda Hotels with Balcony

This is one of the best places I've stayed in a long time. The room is new and very clean, there is hot and cold drinking water in the foyer, and the views out the window are world class. It can be a little hard to find, but after you see the 10 Stefatsminda sign, go into the metal door (see photos). The photo of Gergeti Trinity Church I included was taken from the room. It's incredible. I have only good things to say about this place. It's amazing.

Many people recommended the cabin, so I booked it. However, I'd suggest choosing the 'Rooms' option instead, especially if your budget allows and you don't plan on cooking. We had breakfast at the 'Rooms' dining area, which cost over 100 Lari for two. The view from the window was largely obstructed by the rooftops in front, which was quite disappointing. There are several cabins in the vicinity; ours was a double cabin equipped with a fridge, an induction cooktop, and a washing machine. These amenities would be great for those who need them, but since we didn't, it felt like we'd made the wrong choice for us. You'll need to add the host on WeChat prior to arrival, as they won't add you first and don't speak English. We relied heavily on WeChat's excellent translation function. Despite the language barrier, the host was very nice and helpful.

It was an absolutely fantastic stay! I woke up this morning to a view of the golden sunrise over the mountains.

The snowy mountains are really beautiful at night

Because it was listed as the only 5-star hotel in Kazbek on Ctrip, I booked it. After checking in, it felt more like a self-built motel. Environment: A single building with a small gravel path and an open area in front of the balcony, also covered in gravel and weeds. The hotel is new, and there's a noticeable renovation smell. Cleanliness: Given its newness, it's quite good. Facilities: The room and bathroom are both decent-sized, about 20 square meters overall, but the sink is cramped and won't fit a woman's makeup bag. The balcony is also narrow. View: Seeing many reviews comparing it to Rooms, I think the view of Mount Kazbek is quite different; it's noticeably smaller, and there's a barrier in front. Service: The owner was quite welcoming, but the breakfast was limited and simple, and the taste was average. I can only say that I had something non-salty at lunch.

This hotel offers great value for money. Make sure to book their signature rooms – there are only two of them! These signature rooms are in the best location, very spacious, and offer direct views of the mountaintop church. Waking up to the sunlight hitting the church in the morning was absolutely perfect. The front desk staff were also very welcoming and could communicate in English. The hotel's location is excellent, within walking distance of the town market.

The location of the hotel is great! Open the curtains and you can see the Holy Trinity Church and the snow-capped mountains! The room is a little small, but clean and tidy, the service attitude is good, and it's a good experience.

View is very beautiful and calm place
